He concludes by reading a short little poem about the collection.</p><p>🔮 In late 2021, as a writing exercise, Douglas Vigliotti, author of <i>Tom Collins: A ‘Slightly Crooked' Novel</i>, wrote a poem a day for five months, with just one rule: be honest. He had no intention of releasing any of the poems, but what emerged, was a deeply personal, unflinching, and unbridled account of his life which led to this sparse unorthodox poem collection titled <i>mini heartbreaks (or, little poems about life).</i> Leaving room for interpretation but organized to tell a story, this all-too-close mini-memoir in poetry form pulls up the veil on writing, artistry, alcohol, women, missed opportunities, growing up, and moving forward. Heck, it might even leave you inspired.</p><p>⚡️ Download a copy of the poem collection at <a href="https://douglasvigliotti.com/mini-heartbreaks" target="_blank">douglasvigliotti.com/mini-heartbreaks</a>.</p><p><strong>💔 What is a mini heartbreak?</strong></p><p>some are sad <strong>/</strong> some are hopeful <strong>/</strong> some are personal <strong>/</strong> some are long <strong>/</strong> er <strong>/</strong> than others</p><p>most <strong>/</strong> are this length <strong>/</strong> though</p><p>and a few <strong>/ </strong>might even <strong>/ </strong>make you cry</p><p>or smile <strong>/</strong> or think twice <strong>/</strong> or ask yourself <strong>/</strong> is this guy crazy</p><p>to that <strong>/</strong> i say <strong>/</strong> only half the time <strong>/</strong> and <strong>/</strong> i hope <strong>/</strong> you enjoy <strong>/</strong> my poems</p><p><i>- Douglas Vigliotti</i></p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>🎙 In part one of season one, you will hear chapters 1 through 6 of "Tom Collins: A ‘Slightly Crooked’ Novel" by Douglas Vigliotti.</p><p>⚡️ When soul-searching Christian meets Liv, stars align and her green eyes burn a hole straight through him. Their playful attraction quickly escalates into something much more. But Liv has a little more to her story—one that will turn his life upside down and entangle him in a predicament for the ages. She’s married to his new boss.</p><p>With a dash of dark humor, the story ensues and things begin to heat up. A ball-busting buddy tries to save Christian from himself, but a work event places everyone together on a weekend trip to Golden Beach, FL. As tension builds, his work nemesis, knack for late-night partying, and (most importantly) Liv don't make things any easier. Christian begins to question everything he thought he knew. It’s not until he stumbles upon a mysterious aging rock star that he starts to see things a bit differently. And sometimes, the way you look at something can change everything.</p><p>✨ TOM COLLINS is an <strong>unbridled, fast-paced novel</strong> about how our lives come to be and what shapes us along the way.
